A release-day patch will be hitting gamers next week when MLB 2K9 is officially released on store shelves. OS had previously learned about the patch via a post made by Erick Boenisch, the lead features designer on MLB 2K9, but did not have many details about the patch itself.
After contacting 2K representatives, OS now has some more official patch details. In addition to fixing the bug in the franchise mode that had been causing players to languish in free agency because most teams lacked enough funds to adequately pay free agents, the below bullet points are some of the additional fixes.
- Added the ability for users to accept game invites while playing inside Franchise mode.
- Improved the game response time when there is a loss of connection originating at the user’s network router/hub.
- Addressed an issue where a disconnect would sometimes occur when a user without a HDD attempted to play an Xbox Live Player Match with only a 512MB MU storage device installed.
- An issue regarding playoff tiebreakers occurring after playing through at least 15 years of franchise mode has been addressed. In the unlikely event that 8 or more teams tie for the wild card, the game will now handle the event properly.
- Additional Rich Presence support has been added to the game to help users more easily identify what their friends are currently doing while playing Major League Baseball 2K9.
- If a user had a storage device named using Asian or Russian characters, the title would display these characters improperly. This issue has been resolved.

It is a different look for the Waiver Wire this week as Chase Becotte is joined by three NBA Live developers. The three Live developers, Mike Wang, Ryan Santos and Sean O'Brien, talk with Chase about NBA Live 2009 and what went right and wrong with the title. In addition, the developers talk a bit about NBA Live 10 and what fans can expect from that far-off title -- in a roundabout way of course this far from release.Here's how to get the show:

Instead of asking the same old tired questions to athletes (see: what does it feel like to be on the cover of a game?), I like to ask questions that are truly hard-hitting -- and then judge them in a completely arbitrary way so I can feel superior to people making much more money than me. I am just living the dream folks.Read More - Five Questions with Boston Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia

Operation Sports had a chance to talk with MLB 09: The Show online producer Jason Villa while out in San Diego this week. We asked him about some of the nagging online issues, and what gamers should expect from The Show online this year. Operation Sports: So what has been done this year to deal with some of the nagging online issues: online lag, frame-rate drops and so forth.
Jason Villa: On the gameplay side, what we tried to focus on was just tuning up the experience. So any frame-rate issues you would have seen last year, any hitches with the batter, any release points with the pitcher, we tried to shore those up and tried to make it as close to the offline experience as possible. Obviously there is inherent lag, so there is plenty of trouble doing that, but you're going to get a pretty true experience on the online gameplay side.
